prime tyson vs prime lewis

[BIG H]

Holyfield was just waiting for the oppertunity OBVIOUSLY he could step it up...anyways HOW was he going to do worse than Michael Spinks from 85-89?

McCall turned pro in 85 Tyson turned pro in 85 SHMUCK

Coetzie was still a NAME in 86

Dokes was better than ANYONE Tyson fought from 85-89...Yeah HOLYFIELD beat him...like he's a bum or something

Page was still a NAME from 86-89

Witherspoon still a good veteran during those years

I mean Tyson was taken the distance by James Tillis!!!

Mitch Green did a good job vs him

Tony Tucker did a good job vs him

Would those other guys be better than Mike Jameson, Steve Zouski, or Trevor Berbick


YES, they would have put up a fight

Yes mccall turned pro in 85 and had two fights, infact Tyson had more fights in his first 12 months than McCall had in his first 5 years, and McCall didn't fight anybody with a winning record until 1989 - a fight that he lost.

Page & Coetzee were names, well so was Michael Knight and Devon Miles, but names mean sh1t when you have been getting beaten by every fukka you fight and getting KOed in a round by Bruno

And Dokes was better then Ruddock wasn't he (so what if the fight was in 1990)

Green lost 9 of the 10 rounds against Tyson and Tucker won 3 or 4 at best. Tucker by the way was 35-0 and didn't lose for another 6 years after the Tyson fight, so he was quite handy

and Tyson had been a pro a year when he fought 8 year veteran Tillis, who had floored the likes of Greg Page, so no disgrace going the distance.

Stick to politics Lyle old son, coz your boxing knowledge sucks

A little cheeky but very agreeable arguments. Im a huge Tyson fan but dont get into these threads too much these days because they just go on and on and I just hear the same things from the usual suspects. If some people are so stuck into an opinion then it just becomes a chore trying to argue something you are equally adamant about.

again for some quality pro Tyson sentiments, Big H, long may this thread run!!
